If there is a "hidden" message, then I am indeed missing it.

Your original post re: 'liberals using dead children' seems laughable in the context of social conservatives actually using photos of abortions in pro-life campaigns. Keep in mind, the pro-lifers consider an aborted fetus a child, so they are using actual photos of dead children on street corners and billboards.

I'll do you one better, I'll show you a photo of a social conservative using what they consider to be a dead child to make their case. That way there is no argument to be made about what they think they are doing. We take the legal opinion and discussion right out of it. Nancy Pro-Life uses photos of dead children (in her mind) to further her agenda.

I am curious though, would any of you change your mind if this was a poll for
"Would you like to see the govt confiscate legally obtained/owned Rocket Propelled Grenade Launchers and .50 caliber weapons?"
Personally there are some weapons the average person shouldn't be allowed to own.

I'm looking forward to civilian owned drones. Saw a video of a good sized remote control helicopter with a pistol rigged to it with a solenoid to operate the trigger. Held up to he recoil pretty well.
